Breakfast was eaten in almost silence, apart from Logan's questions about our trip. There was looks given across the table by me and Eva, with Logan stopping in mid sentence to ask us what was going on, I simply replied nothing, before Eva could get a word in. After Breakfast we all got up and moved into the kitchen to wash up, since I thought that was the least I could do to show my appreciation of Logan's wonderful culinary expertise, however when we all arrived in the kitchen Eva rushed and dumped her plate in the sink and mumbled something about needing to pack some things before she forgot. And she walked out, not before she glanced at me with this look in her face, and I knew exactly what she was doing.

" Figures!, she eats but when it comes down to cleaning up, she runs like Archie chasing after Veronica!" my mind was wondering after what Eva had just done and I wasn't paying attention to Logan

" Sorry, what did you say?" he walked over to the sink and started to wash up

" Nothing, it doesn't matter, you probably wouldn't get it anyway" this is exactly what I was talking about, he acts like I don't know anything and he doesn't tell me anything cause he thinks I won't understand. I walked right up behind him

" What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I think he noticed the change in my tone, either that or felt my presence right behind him, because when he turned around and he was about 5inches away from my face, I could practically feel the warmth of his breathe on my lips, this made me lick my own lips. He looked at me and there was a moment of silence that felt like it lasted almost forever before he spoke

" Nothing, why don't you help me dry up, huh?" I didn't want to move I was so close to him and most of all even if I wanted to I couldn't, if was like my feet were nailed to the floor. He grabbed the dish cloth that was by the sink and held it out to me, I reached up and took it from him, not before, though, our fingers brushed against each other. As soon as I felt his fingers touch mine Immediately looked up, he did too, and there was that silent moment again that only lasted a second but it seemed like an eternity. I was the first to break it, I walked to the side of him and he then turned around and continued with the washing up, now we were side by side, and he passed me a plate.

" No, I want to know, what did it mean when you said it doesn't matter" I dried the plate and put it to a side, when he handed me another one and continued to wash up without even looking up at me

" It isn't important" I stopped what I was doing and I stared at him, he felt me burning into him and finally looked up

" What?"

" Do you know that the whole time that I have known you, you have never, never, told me anything about you. It is like you know this deep dark secret of mine and I don't have anything to hold against you" he laughed at my comment

" oh, so you are saying that you want something about me that you can black mail me with, huh?" he looked back down and continued with the washing up

" No, you know what I mean" without looking up he replied

" What do you want to know Max?, some deep dark secret of mine, something that happened years ago, just so that you can feel better that you can have something me and not feel bad that I know something about you." His tone was serious and had a hint of anger in it.

" No, all I want is to know you, cause right now I don't think I do. You are supposed to be my friend, but somehow I don't know a thing about you……..it is just that, I feel like one minute you are my friend and you know practically everything about me but the next minute I realise that I know nothing about you." He looked up at me

" What do you want to know Max?…….if it hasn't occurred to you already, I am not the most interesting person in the world I am not a genetically engineered, revved up, super human like you, nor do I have any super powers so what else could you possible want to know?" he looked back down

" Logan, you don't have to be some souped up, super being, for me to want to get to know you better, believe it or not I do have friends of the normal ordinary everyday Joe kind. All I want to know are the everyday things, the little things like where you are from, your family, where you actually work, and your favourite kind of ice cream., and where the hell you learnt how to cook" He looked up at me after I mentioned the cooking and laughed.

" Max, you are …. Weird" I smacked him with the towel,

" Excuse me, me weird! this coming from the man who eats peanut butter and chocolate spread together! Yuck" the one thing I did pick up was Logan loved peanut butter and chocolate rolls.

" hey, don't diss it until you have tried it"

" HUHHHHH, don't even go there" he looked at me with this glint in his blue eyes, and I knew he was up to something,

" Oh No, now what are you thinking up."

" Well… since you are dissing it, I think you should try it" with his soapy hand he grabbed the dish cloth from my hand and wiped his. He then took my arm and dragged me over to the cupboard

" No. Logan, think of what I just ate I had a huge breakfast, please don't make me through up"

" Well, this is the first time I have ever heard Max turning down food, could it be, are my ears playing games with me"

" Logan, I ain't playing there is no way in hell I am going to actually ingest that"

" Oh, no one is asking you to ingest it, I am just asking you to put it in your mouth and take a bite" he got out the rolls and spread a thick layer of peanut butter followed by a thick layer of chocolate spread, he then both it up and held it near my mouth, I shut it close, refusing to open.

" Max, will you just take a bite, that is all I am asking."

" No"

" Max"

"No"

" Max, open your mouth now, or I will personally open it up for you" I gave him this 'as if' look.

" Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you" then with his free hand he grabbed me by the side and started to tickle me, I am so ticklish and from the instant he made contact with my skin I melted and squirmed at the same time.

" OK, OK, you won. One bite, that's it" He held it infront of me and I took a small bite and began to chew, his hands were sill in contact with my body and I couldn't think of anything else but that.

" Well…" I focus on my taste buds, and discovered that they too were having a good time, the roll, was….. delicious. I stood there feeling his touch still on the side of my stomach and I looked into his eyes and moved in towards him filling the gap between us, there were a thousand thoughts running through my mind, like the fact that I wanted it, from him, now, all I wanted was to taste and touch and have more and more until I couldn't get enough. I looked into those eyes and thanked him for bringing us together and I didn't take my eyes off him, he continued to look at me too, I knew it was now or never and that I might as well admit it now, because I couldn't resist anymore or fight it any longer…..
